Maybe he will give us some examples of what was and wasn't imminent danger from the hundred or more times he was called upon to make this determination in court.

I believe there is precendent for removing all children from a home -- during this investigational period -- if one is considered abused or endangered.
As for why every child in a subdivision, ward, HUD development, whatever is not taken when one family is suspected of abusing children, the obvious difference is that the FLDS do not live in individual households in the traditional sense with each household governed by a parent, or parents, so it those are not even close comparisons to the FLDS way of living. If those living in building "A" had a different philosophy on impregnating teens than those in building "B" in the compound, the FLDS seem to have done nothing to assert that, and given the stories of strong patriarchal control of marriages and families from the FLDS leadership, there is no reason to believe that might be the case.
